Thinking about a new annotation:
@JavaCondom
on function: it puts "... throws Exception " at the end
on class: reflection puts "... throws Exception" on every goddamn function
It could have global app property which makes appends every exception with a reassuring message like: "There is so much java code out there already, that this shit will never ever end"2 -
The one day process of installing a Heroku dyno:
- Setting up Heroku from nothing, with variables, and cli etc... -> 20 minutes
- Mulling over the fact that __dirname doesn't work for some reason -> 1 hour
- Debugging one retarded error message after an other only to realize that a critical file is missing from the repo, that I should have noticed after 2 minutes -> 6 hours1 -
Hmm our bundle js is already 1.35Mb maybe I should do something with that.
... Insert 2 hours of frantic webpack magic + babel-preset tweeking, tree-shake code optimization ...
- npm run build
- bundle.js => 1.37Mb
Great Success! I'm going to take a lunch...4 -
CircleCI:
- Ensuring work has meaning: "Let's make yet an other dashboard webapp that going to replace all of our dashboard webapps which we made to replace all of our dashboard webapps"
-Solving interesting problems: "Let's make this with java 15 instead of java 14!!!! Also add graphql to ADD interesting problems nobody had since the nineties!"
- Gain meaningful value from talent: 'Bitbucket and the whole pipeline died fourth time this week, I'm going to drink a coffee or two..."
- Developers in flow: "Joe went to have a lunch around 11:00, you probably should not look for him until 14:30."
- Bring buying decisions closer to the engineering team: "The boss tried to bring up the pros and cons between aws and azure... The police eventually had to break the ensuing fight in the meeting room. The survivors reported things got truly out of hand when someone mentioned line-endings"
- Bring leadership closer to the engineering team: "There was yet an other agile coached hired, when she asked how should we measure velocity one of the lead devs managed to actually wake up and told her that the wifi is still pretty fucking slow"
